THE OBSESSION

V6

[Intro] Lights... Camera... Action. Every story needs a hero. Every hero needs a villain. And every villain... Needs an audience. [Verse 1] I watched the heroes I studied every scene Every mask and every costume Every nightmare on the screen I learned their movements I learned their lines I watched the credits roll A thousand times But something changed Inside my head The stories weren't enough anymore I wanted to live them. [Pre-Chorus] The screen is calling... The curtain's rising... And tonight... I'm the star. [Chorus] THIS IS MY MOVIE! THIS IS MY SCENE! I'M THE VILLAIN YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE! THIS IS MY MOVIE! WATCH ME PERFORM! GOTHAM IS THE SET! AND I'M THE FUCKING STORM! [Verse 2] I know the heroes I know the roles The detective The soldier The monster The soul I've watched them die I've watched them rise I've seen a thousand endings Through a thousand different eyes So when the cameras roll Don't look away Because the greatest performance... Is happening today. [Pre-Chorus] No more watching. No more waiting. Tonight... I take the lead. [Chorus] THIS IS MY MOVIE! THIS IS MY SCENE! I'M THE VILLAIN YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE! THIS IS MY MOVIE! WATCH ME PERFORM! GOTHAM IS THE SET! AND I'M THE FUCKING STORM! [Bridge] Do you know what the problem is with heroes? They always think they know how the story ends. But I've seen this movie before. And I know the ending. [Whispered] Everyone dies. [Breakdown] LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! ROLL THE FILM! CUT THE LIGHTS! CHANGE THE SCENE! REWRITE THE ENDING! I AM THE DIRECTOR! I AM THE STAR! I AM THE VILLAIN! AND THIS... IS... MY... MOVIE! [Final Chorus] THIS IS MY MOVIE! THIS IS MY SCENE! NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM BECOMING THE DREAM! THIS IS MY MOVIE! THE FINAL ACT! THE CURTAIN FALLS... AND THERE'S NO GOING BACK! [Outro] Lights fade. The audience is silent. The screen goes black. ... But the movie isn't over.
